The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 470 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the aircraft was able to lift off the ground quickly.

As the aircraft entered the local area, it encountered a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 245 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 36, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to complete the left-hand pattern, with the crosswind leg taking less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The downwind turn was completed at an angle of 40.9 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 96 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft began its base leg turn, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 23.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 27 seconds to complete. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 from the south, heading 358.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 363 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a threshold speed of 64 knots and a touchdown distance of 176 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 59 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 755 meters, accounting for 61% of the runway. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took 5 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 95.26 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 358.0° at 1 nautical mile and 363 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 64 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than ideal at 59 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute (fpm). The landing distance was within acceptable limits at 176 meters, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 243°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 755 meters, accounting for 61% of the runway length.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-center by 11.7 meters from the centerline. Despite this minor deviation, the pilot successfully brought the aircraft to a stop, demonstrating good control and maneuvering skills. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled approach and touchdown.
